Hi Dustin, I'm running John Brown wheels on my TR3B vintage racer, 5.5 x 15
with an offsett of 15 mm. Most club rules allow +1 inch over factory stock
width. Some guys cheat and run wider but clearance with the rear leaf
springs or rear fender lip limit cheating. Rubber limit for me is the
Hoosier Speedster 205 x 60 on the 5.5 inch rim without grinding leaf
springs but the tread rolls side-to-side and you may need to remove
the inner fender lip. I run 1/4 inch front spacers and -3 deg. camber in
the front to clear front fenders. I also use rear spacers to adjust track
width and clearance issues. Hope this helps.
